DC COMICS PRESENTS BATMAN DARK CITY #1

In these thrilling tales from BATMAN #452-454, The Riddler goes on a crimepsree – but when he has the chance to kill Batman, he let The Dark Knight live. What strange game is The Riddler playing?

Plus, in a story from DETECTIVE COMICS #633, Bruce Wayne returns to Wayne Manor to find no trace of the Batcave, and Alfred without any knowledge of his master’s crimefighting career. Has Bruce Wayne gone insane?

    I’m going to do some research on this, but can anyone tell me anything about it. I’m not familiar with the story… Right now I’m only thinking about picking it up becuase it’s a light week and I like the cover a lot. Is pt. 2 going to be a continuation of this story?

    It is SOOO good. It’s a great one-and done Riddler arc, and a very nice addition to any Bat-collection. The story is quite dark, but equally clever. Highly recommended.

    @petevaldez  thanks for the info, I’m getting it now! Were any of the past or upcoming months DC Presents Batman books any good? I just saw some on their website… I would love to read some old, but good Batman stories.

    I picked up the original issues from a 50p bin at a marketplace this last weekend. Best money I’ve spent in weeks.

    I would recommend this to Morrison Batman fans. It is a great story.

    Haha, I recently bought a copy of SHADE THE CHANGING MAN #1 and I’m pretty sure there was an add for this and I was bummed that I would probably never track down the issues…fantastic!

    One of my favorite story arcs ever…pretty graphic violence, however, if that kind of thing bothers you…

    Tempted to get this since the original issues I have are really blurry and badly printed. It is indeed a great story though. It’s got batman vs rotting corpses – get in!!

    @origamikid  1990 was when this originally came out. 

    I’ve heard nothing but good things about it.  I must have stopped reading Batman at that time, because I missed it unfortunately, but I’m definitely looking forward to it!

    I just picked one up and I cannot wait to read it all. My only gripe right now is that they didn’t include the other Mignola covers. I mean, why wouldn’t you? Would have much preferred them over the search for Swamp Thing preview…

    Was so tempted to pick this up today but there were too many other titles this week. Damn
